Mem Fox and Judy Horacek
Collaboration can be hard; it takes a special kind of mutual respect, an enormous amount of flexibility and, of course, a lot of trust.
Mem Fox and Judy Horacek – the pairing that brought the world Where Is the Green Sheep? – represent the most fruitful kind of creative team. In a special event tailored for parents, teachers and librarians, they’ll talk about how they make their collaboration work.
From industry gossip (over five years, Possum Magic was rejected by various publishers nine times) to practical advice on how to encourage reading in young children, join Fox and Horacek for a rare glimpse into their creative partnership – and the world of children’s publishing.
